An advocacy organization, Hip-Hop Stands With Survivors, has filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against New York radio station Hot 97 and DJ Funkmaster Flex.

The organization claims that the comments constitute disinformation. The controversy arises as Afrika Bambaataa, despite having an open civil case for child sex trafficking, recently performed a DJ set on Hot 97.
